From the abandoned early twentieth century experiments of the berry grower, Rudolph Boysen, Walter Knott (of the famous 'Knott's Berry Farm') rescued a few sick vines and nursed them back to fruiting health again...
...my childhood was filled with the taste of boysenberries - jam, fresh, icecream and in crumbles and pies...
...best memories were picking them and trying not to eat too many while doing so!
Apparently, these days, New Zealand is the world's largest producer of these delicious, huge and juicy, tasty Summer berries!
Fingers crossed for a luscious harvest here this Summer :-)
